It's not "when" sff_extract works ... when extracting non-paired sequences it *always* works like sffinfo. > ******************************************************************************** > WARNING: weird sequences in file SRR054580.sff > After applying left clips, 513937 sequences (=57%) start with these bases: > A > > This does not look sane. > ... This warning message is courtesy of sff_extract: the SFF is very probably broken. sff_extract caught that and gave you a warning, which, by the way, you do not get in sffinfo. The resulting FASTA file both from sffinfo and sff_extract are still exactly the same. B.
